The New York Times- www.nytimes.com The New York Times is a very prestigious newspaper. One can find all the recent world news stories on their website. The journalists are some of the best in America.
BBC- http://www.bbc.co.uk/ The British Broadcasting Company has resources around the world and have all of the top stories before everyone else. The BBC also writes without the American writer's bias. The BBC is a favorite of people all over the western world.
The Central Intelligence Agency World Factbook is a golden ticket for any journalist. Why? It is an outstanding source for finding almost any necessary background information on any country in the world. Much like the BBC's Country Profiles, the CIA World Factbook gives all the important facts about the country. But the World Factbook tops the Country Profiles by having much more important information, historical backgrounds, leader profiles, climate/geography information, economic information, and much more. Because this almanac is produced and published by the Central Intelligence Agency, you can expect the information to be of extreme quality and always up-to-date. The World Factbook is available for download on the CIA Website, and it updates often to incorporate any new developments a country may undergo. In addition, the World Factbook is also published in paper and should be available at most local libraries. Make no mistake, the World Factbook is the absolute go-to source for country information, gathered and updated by the most highly skilled intelligence collectors and analysts in the Central Intelligence Agency. If you want some of the most in-depth information on any country - from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe - do not hesitate to pick up or download this incredibly informative publication.
The Census Bureau is possibly the most valuable source for information on the United States. Not information such as breaking news, but information like the United States' population, economic status, housing, government information, business information, healthcare, transportation, education, and the list goes on and on. Unlike the World Factbook, the Census Bureau keeps its information localized on the United States. However, the information is specific and high-quality, making this website a definite favorite for journalists. One way this site could be incredibly effective is in an economic story. Since the Census website holds economic information from this year and past years, it is easy to compare information and come to a conclusion about the rate in which our economy is thriving or failing. This is only but one example. There is so much information available on this site that one would be a fool to go anywhere else for country information - other than going to the Bureau in person. For quality information specific to the United States, census.gov in the place to visit.
This is a good website for students interested in working in the field of journalism. It provides a lot of useful information about what kind of people should work in this field, and what some qualifications are for being a journalist. There are also a lot of helpful hints about how to get a job with a newspaper or reporting agency, like not to be late and how to get an interview.
